Inside the Luxurious World of Private Tutoring in Dubai: Tales from a 25-Year-Old Tutor
The Luxurious Life of a Private Tutor in Dubai: Tales of Wealth and Extravagance
Dubai, known for its opulent lifestyle and extravagant wealth, is a playground for the rich and famous. And for one 25-year-old private tutor, it was a glimpse into a world of extreme luxury and excess.
In a recent interview with Business Insider, the tutor shared his experiences working with some of Dubai’s wealthiest families. From millionaires to billionaires, these families spared no expense when it came to their children’s education.
One particular family lived in a lavish apartment that boasted amenities such as an art room, a massage room, a gym, and a cinema. With a private elevator and guard dogs at the door, it was a world of luxury that most can only dream of.
But it wasn’t just the extravagant living spaces that stood out to the tutor. The families had an entourage of staff, including security, maids, drivers, cooks, nannies, and, of course, tutors like himself. The children were used to having everything done for them, including their homework.
In one instance, a pupil paid the tutor $3,000 to do his homework for him, simply because he knew his father would take care of it. This kind of behavior was not uncommon in Dubai, where extreme wealth was the norm.
But it wasn’t all work and no play for the tutor. He shared stories of being showered with gifts and extravagant tips from the families he worked for. One family even gave him $7,000 in cash to cover the repairs for his broken-down car.
And the perks didn’t stop there. The tutor was once hired to accompany a family on their private yacht along the Italian coast for two months. From jet-skiing to touring vineyards, he lived a life of luxury that most can only dream of.
But not all experiences were as glamorous. While working for a Russian family, the tutor was often kept out of sight, only allowed to interact with the children and speak English to them. For the Russian elite, having a tutor with a native accent was a status symbol.
Despite the ups and downs, the tutor’s time in Dubai was a whirlwind of luxury and extravagance. From sailing on yachts to being showered with gifts, it was a world unlike any other. And for those who can afford it, Dubai offers a lifestyle that is truly unmatched.
